That's a great little find. I can't say I've seen one of these as a detecting find before  Smiley

Nice find.

It also nicely points out what was happening to the Scottish economy in a previous age of independence - essentially Scottish money started out at parity to English money (if you think of the 'sterlings' of say Alexander III) - but by the time of the accession of James the (V)I to the English (and Welsh) throne, it had become debased to 1/12th that of the English money - and then it was pegged at that ratio until just after the Act of Union.
